Breaking Your Fall Songtext

von Chris Whitley

The horizon pales
When she hits the ground
Sirens and scaffolds
All coming down
Under the weight of heaven
If only devotion
Could rise on a word
Then you could stumble
Never be hurt
You could let go

Breaking your fall
Breaking your fall

The pilots of pleasure
Your weatherman
Never could push you
Far as I can
They just let you fall
While buildings and bridges
Just crash and burn
It's only a cloudbank
Bursting in turn
They were made to come down

Breaking your fall
Breaking your fall

Fault lines and failures
Angels and all
Follow her footholds
Breaking her fall
It's alchemical
